 Works well between batteries October 12, 2008
This works well for my extremely difficult, energetic, large, impossible to manage dog. When the battery dies, I always struggle to get it working again - but so far have been able to do so...
satisfied October 9, 2008
I already have the wireless fence with this same collar. The one that I ordered was for my second dog. They work great, would recommend to anyone.
best thing I ever did September 20, 2008
Im sorry I waited so long to do this. My dogs were trained in one day and I have never been happier...
Works well but it's not exactly cheap September 17, 2008
I took our dogs about one hour to figure out how far they could walk from the base. I can understand that not all dogs are this easy to train but I am only relating my own experience here.
While I am only reviewing the collar here, or maybe BECAUSE I am reviewing the collar, anyone who does not have the 'base' unit should understand that this collar will be useless without the base. The way it works is like this:
- The base is a radio transmitter.
- The collar is a receiver tuning into the base's frequency.
- For as long as the receiver stays within range (90 ft. max, I believe), nothing happens.
- When the receiver comes close to the boundary, the collar emits some buzzing sounds, letting the dog know that danger is near.
- If the dog ignores it and moves farther away, the dog gets zapped - there are 6 or 7 intensity levels.
- If the base is not transmitting, the dog does NOT get zapped.
- If the dogs runs away and does not know how to get back within range, the zapping stops after 30 seconds, I believe.
Other features:
- Uses a PetSafe battery - can get a pair at Amazon for $6-7 and it lasts for a couple of months.
- When the battery is about to run out, there is a little blinking light on the zapper that tells you it's time to change it.
- If you don't do it, soon after the battery is out of juice you will know that it is so when you see your dog chasing the UPS truck.
Like I said, our doggies learned their limits almost immediately and they learned that as soon as the collar started to buzz or they got zapped to run toward the house.
My only issue with this is: why $100+ for the collar alone? Oh, well... if anyone else could make these things for less, please do. You will get rich, quick.
Answer to containing your canine pet August 31, 2008
This wireless system is a must for containing your dog. I use it on my 95 lb lab and I really did not have to take time to teach him. He got zapped once and knew when the collar beeped not to enter that area. I just adopted a silky terrior and I also use it on him and the same training was used. I never used the flags. There really no setup just plug in and plan the area to use it in.
So much better than the wire system because the rodents eat the wires. We had this system originally then turned to this one. Been using for around 15 years.
